NOTE:
Ensure that pin 1 indicator on the CPU tray is aligned with the pin 1 indicator on the processor.
2. Place the retaining clip on top of the processor in the processor tray aligning pin 1 indicator on the processor.
NOTE:
Ensure the pin 1 indicator on the retaining clip is aligned with the pin 1 indicator on the processor before placing
the retaining clip on the processor.
NOTE:
Before you install the heat-sink, ensure to place the processor and retaining clip in the tray.
3. Align the processor with retaining clip, by using your fingers press the retaining clip on all the four sides until it clicks into
place.
NOTE:
Ensure that the processor is securely latched to the retaining clip.
4. If you are using an existing heat sink, remove the thermal grease from the heat sink by using a clean lint-free cloth.
5. Use the thermal grease syringe included with your processor kit to apply the grease in a thin spiral design on the bottom of
the heat sink.
CAUTION:
Applying too much thermal grease can result in excess grease coming in contact with and
contaminating the processor socket.
NOTE:
The thermal grease syringe is intended for single use only. Dispose the syringe after you use it.
6. For new heat sink, pull and remove the plastic cover from the base of heat sink.
7. Place the heat sink on the processor and press the base of the heat sink until the retaining clip locks onto the heat sink at all
the four corners.
Installing the processor and heat-sink module
Prerequisites
If you are replacing a component, remove the existing component before performing the installation procedure.
NOTE:
If either the processor or the heat-sink is replaced, use the thermal grease that is provided in the kit to ensure that
thermal conductivity is achieved.
